Big Bang! 3 HR for Dead Marshes’ *the Masher

Posted on June 8, 2026 by commish

Wednesday, May 15th , 2052
It was a day for the record books for Dead Marshes Uruk-hai shortstop Ugak *the Masher, who walloped three out of Uruk-hai Field against the Hops. However, not even a three-homer game could prevent the Hops from getting the 9-7 victory.

“We threw some good pitches and they hit ’em, and we made some bad pitches and they hit ’em. That’s a good strategy for losing ballgames,” Dead Marshes skipper Mikee the German joked after the loss.

*the Masher still had a few opportunities to celebrate along the way. He was 3-for-5 for the day, batting in 5 runs and scoring 3 times.

“I never, ever thought I would hit three home runs,” *the Masher said. “I hit three home runs once when I was 12 in Little League and I thought that was going to be the last time.”

Ugak *the Masher grounded out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Chae-ku Ogura in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Chae-ku Ogura in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Skorbosh Earthcrawler in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th.

*the Masher is hitting .346 for the season with 10 home runs, 22 RBIs and 29 runs scored. He has 47 hits in 136 at-bats and played in 37 games.

Dogwood Swats 3 Homers

Today was a special one for Banazir Dogwood of the Misty Mountain Hops as he slammed three home runs in the 9-7 Hops win over the Dead Marshes Uruk-hai.

“Lately, I’ve been uppercutting the ball too much,” he said to sportswriters after the game. “I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit ’em.”

The Misty Mountain center fielder collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Uruk-hai Field.

Banazir Dogwood hit a solo-shot off Pervinca Woodenguard in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Igbub Eyeslobberer in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Dromzug the Atrocious in the 6th and grounded out in the 8th.

This year, Dogwood has collected a .366 batting average to date with 52 hits in 142 at-bats, 30 RBIs, 8 home runs and scored 27 times. He has played in 38 games.
